Sundance

Dear Readers -

I start today's post with a minor housekeeping note.  You probably received an invitation from me to join my La Famille Shutterfly share site.  If you accepted this invitation you probably also received a "Weekly Digest" email from said site.  Do yourself a favor and scroll down to the bottom of that digest email and click on link that lets you "never" receive digest emails.  I update it nearly never so no one needs to be getting a weekly, monthly or even yearly digest.  Sorry for all of the extra junk in your inbox. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Tucked under the beautiful Mt. Timpanogos you will find the quirky and charming Sundance Resort. Started by Robert Redford, the resort offers skiing, art classes, authors series, theatre workshops and any other sort of thing you might associate with that handsome blue-eyed cowboy actor. Located about 45 minutes from Park City, Sundance has all of the convenience of it's bigger, more famous sister but none of the downside. Fewer people, more natural beauty,and almost no one on the slopes. The fact that it was film fest week here actually meant that fewer people skied!  God bless those beautiful, lazy people who can't be bothered!

Oh wait, we had kind of crummy weather and never got a good view of it.  Oh well!

It also means that people expect to see celebrities, which equates to more and more people staring at Matt, trying to figure out if he's that guy from Homeland. (If you don't know what I am talking about, google Damian Lewis. Matt is of course better looking, but to some people all redheads look alike.  Yeesh.) One woman went so far as to ask the salesgirl at the ski rental shop to look at Matt's paperwork on the sly to confirm his name. I overheard the salesgirl whispering "it says William Kelly" much to the woman's disappointment. Tee hee!

All in all, we had a very relaxing weekend where we actually got to go skiing (a rare occurrence post-parenthood), sleep in, and eat delicious meals that we did not have to prepare.  A lovely way to reconnect and celebrate the 6th anniversary of our "real" wedding.  The one we didn't tell most people about before the "fake" (but amazing) one we had on New Year's Eve almost a year later.  And it is official - we will be fleeing the children every year from here on out to mark the occasion!

Happy Anniversary mon mari!
